Tetris 

Tetris is a video game puzzle made in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov. Once the game became available on PC, its popularity spread throughout Russia, and soon to the world. It challenges the minds of many and remains wildly popular. The game is one of the world’s best selling video games, and is even the subject of a new film. Recently, a young thirteen year old boy by the name of Willis Gibson was the first person to make it to the games end screen. 

Making History 

In just 38 minutes, thirteen year old Willis Gibson defeated the long known game Tetris. In order to beat the game, players must complete as many lines as possible before a seemingly inevitable loss. Tetris was designed to be played forever, but by crashing the game Gibson essentially beat its coding.
